Autoclave Paper Tape Autoclave Sterilizers

Autoclave tape is an adhesive tape used in autoclaving (heating under high pressure with steam to sterilise) to indicate whether a specific temperature has been reached. Autoclave tape works by changing color after exposure to temperatures commonly used in sterilization processes, typically 121°C in a steam autoclave but can withstand upto 134°C in some autoclaves.

Autoclave tape is used as a process indicator in steam sterilizers, and it is very well suited for the clinical and research environments.

Autoclave tape features an aggressive, pressure-sensitive adhesive designed to adhere to a variety of wraps so that the pack stays secure during sterilization and can be used on direct contact with substrates. Autoclave tape is designed for use with flexible sterile barrier systems such as wrap and plain closure bags, although it will also adhere strongly to other surfaces such as linen.

Tape also features a chemical indicator to verify that it has gone through the sterilization process. Black diagonal lines appear on the tape after 10 minutes at 121°C or 2 minutes at 134°C in a steam sterilizer.
